Update on creasted gecko viv
So after a few weeks of working on it. We finally got all the plants in and climbing stuffs. If anybody has any ideas to secure the vines to glass we are all ears. Silicone didn't work. The tube was to big to fit in the space. But here are some pictures of this great viv

It's awesome looking and functional. Keeps the humidity up. No crestie yet. Hoping to pick one up maybe at the show this weekend or next month

That is one sweet setup!
As far as attaching the vines to the glass: get the suction cups with the hooks. Then use wire to attach the vines to the hooks.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Re: Update on creasted gecko viv
The one problem I could see with that. Is the vine would be going in the front of the tank. So it would be seen on the glass

Looks really nice, but you might want to consider hanging some leafy greens around the top of the enclosure as well. Cresties like to stay up high and will want greenery to hide in while they are up there.
Maybe hot glue would secure the vines and greenery?

Expanding foam the vines on. let it dry/expand, then carve it to the shape you want and paint/silicon the foam to look nice. (You could easily make little ledge that look like the background with the vines coming out. )
Beautiful looking tank too btw!

I agree with the greenery comment. I use the magnaturals vine cluster and love them. I have 2 in my 18x18x24 zoomed terrarium for my cresties. I like that you can remove them (detach the magnets) and clean them.

Yeah. Greenery will be added. It's still being built right now. Plans to get a crestie right now. Unless we find something that we love.
